Shinji Matou at Your Service-Chapter 1002: I’ll Leave the Rest to You

Gilgamesh's greatest treasure—though stored in the deepest part of his vault, is not part of the Gate of Babylon. The separate, unique sword of rupture, EA, is a supreme treasure, said to be able to split space and reshape the order of the world.

Karna's trump card—bestowed upon him by Indra, the king of gods, as a token of guilt due to Karna's noble nature. This divine spear, which complements his invincible golden armor, is a god-slaying weapon. It is a spear of absolute destruction, capable of annihilating an existence.

Both Noble Phantasms are rated as immeasurable EX class, not merely due to sheer destructive power. They strike on all levels—from concept to reality, from the mystical to the physical.

Even as more and more Heroic Spirits descend from the Throne of Heroes, and more EX-class Noble Phantasms emerge, the Sword of Rupture, EA, and the god-slaying spear remain at the pinnacle of all Noble Phantasms, hailed as the strongest.

The debate over which of the two is stronger, and which of their wielders—two of the three golden heroes—is more powerful, has been a hot topic among fans for years. It has even sparked countless rounds of online arguments, forging the infamous reputation of the fandom's fierce keyboard warriors.

Back in the day, Shinji was one of the most passionate participants in these discussions, a key player in many of these keyboard wars. Though he sided with Gilgamesh at the time, that was mainly because EA can be used multiple times, while Karna's god-slaying spear can only be used once.

But when it comes to a classic face-off, determining a winner is not so simple. Before Shinji's time-traveling adventure, this topic had been debated online for nearly a decade, and only two conclusions had been reached.

One serious conclusion: Whoever strikes first, wins—meaning whichever of Karna or Gilgamesh unleashes their ultimate move first would be the victor.

And one less serious conclusion: Whoever is on the left side is more likely to lose, and whoever is on the bottom is more likely to win—an eternal law of beam struggles.

Both conclusions, to be honest, didn't resolve much. But now, Shinji finally had the chance to see the answer for himself. He was so excited that he was shoving popcorn into his mouth while furiously shaking Roman's shoulder, yelling at the top of his lungs.

"This is awesome! Gilgamesh and Karna are killing it! EA versus the god-slaying spear—thank you, Time-Space Administration, thank you, author! The mystery that has plagued us for years is finally going to be solved. Which of the three golden heroes is the strongest? We're finally going to find out! Beam struggle! Beam struggle! Beam struggle!"

The more he yelled, the more excited Shinji became, and the harder he shook Roman.

At last, Roman couldn't take it anymore and protested, "Stop, stop! I know you're excited, but could you please stop shaking me so hard? I'm getting dizzy."

Only then did Shinji snap out of his crazed fanboy state. He let go of Roman and handed him a can of cola. Just as he was about to tease him with, "How could the great King of Israel get dizzy so easily?"

Romani pushed the cola aside and interrupted him.

"There's something else I forgot to mention—you probably won't get to see the outcome of this battle."

"What do you mean?"

Shinji was stunned at first, but then his expression changed slightly.

Could Solomon be planning to make a move against me here?

But with my current strength, no matter who comes, I wouldn't be taken down so easily—not even by Solomon.

And besides, I don't sense any fighting intent or killing intent from him.

Could he be planning to interfere at this crucial moment? He certainly has the power to do so, but why would he? There's no benefit to it. He couldn't possibly be crazy enough to want to take on both EA and the god-slaying spear at the same time to prove he's the strongest in human history, right?

As Shinji's expression shifted through various emotions, Roman seemed to guess what was on his mind. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "How could a fragile Caster like me have such reckless thoughts? The reason the battle won't have a result is because of this."

Let's ignore his self-deprecating, pretending-to-be-weak attitude for now and see what he's talking about.

Unbeknownst to Shinji, a 3D projection had appeared beside Roman. The projection displayed two girls—one in red and one in blue—who were none other than the Masters of Gilgamesh and Karna: Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Edelfelt.

At that moment, Shinji understood what Romani meant.

"Ah, I see. Yeah, this fight can't go on any further. I'll go save them, and I'll leave it to you to stop Gilgamesh and Karna before they go too far... Uh, Roman? Roman? Hey, where did he go?"

In the few seconds it took for Shinji to glance at the projection and look away, Roman had vanished without a trace. There had been no warning signs, and Shinji hadn't felt even the slightest ripple of magical energy. Roman had simply disappeared, leaving behind two active projections and a delayed message:

"I'll leave the rest to you, Shinji. By the way, the popcorn and cola were delicious—I'll repay you later."

...

...

...

What else could Shinji say?

Other than to sigh and grumble, "These guys with high-level clairvoyance who can see the future are such a pain. They're always so cryptic, never explaining things properly," there was nothing else to do but rush toward the two battlefields on the mountainside as quickly as possible.

If I'm late, something truly irreversible might happen.

Now that he was moving at full speed, it was impossible to suppress his aura and magical energy like before. It wasn't long before the two golden Servants sensed his approach.

But even if they hadn't sensed him, it wouldn't have mattered—because Shinji not only released his aura but also his voice, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Stop! Stop right now! Don't fight anymore!"

At such a critical moment, even Gilgamesh and Karna couldn't ignore the interference of a third party, and they refrained from unleashing their respective ultimate moves.

"What is that clown trying to do? If he dares ruin my fun, he'll have to pay with his life," Gilgamesh growled his anger and killing intent evident as he suppressed the roaring of EA. It was clear that interrupting him at the height of his excitement had left the self-centered King of Heroes in a foul mood.

However, the ever-cool Karna sensed something amiss and suggested, "He sounds genuinely urgent. Perhaps something important has happened. Let's go check it out?"

"Fine, since you say so."

Gilgamesh's response showed the respect he had for Karna. For the King of Heroes, this was the highest form of recognition.

In the next moment, the two great heroes transformed into golden streaks of light, rushing toward the source of the voice.

At that moment, Shinji was carrying—no, wait, let me correct that—Shinji was running at full speed, one arm holding Rin, the other holding Luvia. When he saw the two golden streaks rapidly approaching, he stopped in his tracks and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, you two didn't lose your senses."

"Watch your tone, clown," Gilgamesh said, hovering in the air with EA in hand. "If you don't give me a proper explanation, you know the consequences."

"Don't just stand there. Come and get your Master—this is your explanation."

As Shinji spoke, he gently set down the two girls he had been carrying.
